ABSTRACT: Background and aims
We recently showed that miR-223-3p on high-density lipoproteins (HDL) is exported to endothelial cells, where it inhibits inflammation. However, the origin of miR-223-3p on HDL is unknown. We hypothesize that HDL-associated miR-223-3p originates in myeloid cells and is exported to HDL in a scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI)-dependent manner.Methods
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and human monocyte derived macrophages (HMDMs) were incubated with native HDL (nHDL) or discoidal reconstituted HDL (rHDL). Total RNA was isolated before and after incubation. Mature and primary miR-223-3p (pri-mir-223-3p) levels were quantified by real-time PCR.Results
Incubation with nHDL and rHDL increased miR-223-3p export from PMNs and HMDMs. In PMNs, nHDL but not r
